Summary - Victoria Street, Church, BB5 BB5 4LB
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Low-price investment with refurbishment upside and strong transport links.
Stone-built Victorian end-terrace, two bedrooms and spacious reception room
This stone-built Victorian end terrace offers clear investment potential in a low-entry price bracket. The property has two bedrooms, a spacious reception room and an enclosed rear yard — practical features that appeal to local renters. Chain free sale and excellent public transport links simplify purchase and occupancy.
Internally the home needs updating. The kitchen dates to the mid-20th century and requires renovation; the boiler is reported in poor condition and plumbing may need work. Original stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, and windows are double glazed with unknown install date. These are straightforward improvement areas that will increase rental value and energy performance.
Location-wise the house sits in a very deprived, blue-collar terrace area with above-average local crime rates. Rental demand is driven by constrained renters and good transport connections rather than high amenity value. Council tax is very low, and there are several nearby primary and secondary schools with mixed Ofsted ratings.
For an investor willing to undertake refurbishment, this compact property presents a manageable project: update the kitchen and heating, add thermal improvements, and reconfigure cosmetic finishes to lift yields. The property’s size and layout suit steady rental returns in the local market, but buyers should budget for remedial works and factor in the neighbourhood profile when setting rent levels.
